Understanding Error Correction

QR codes include error correction capability that allows them to be read even when partially damaged or obscured. Our generator offers four levels: Low (7% recovery), Medium (15% recovery), Quartile (25% recovery), and High (30% recovery). Higher levels provide better damage resistance but create more complex codes.

Best Practices for QR Codes

  • Use high contrast colors (dark foreground, light background) for better readability
  • Ensure adequate size for the scanning distance - larger codes scan better from farther away
  • Test your QR codes with multiple devices and apps before distributing
  • Include a call-to-action near your QR code to encourage scanning
  • Use higher error correction for codes that may be damaged or partially obscured
  • Keep URLs short to create simpler, more scannable QR codes

Business Applications

QR codes are perfect for marketing campaigns, contactless menus, event registration, product information, social media links, email collection, location sharing, and customer feedback. They bridge the gap between physical and digital experiences, making information instantly accessible to customers.
